President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un shared a warm handshake on Wednesday as they met for their second summit in Vietnam.

Trump met the dictator at the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi at about 6:30 p.m. local time.

“Here we are today and I hope that we can provide an outcome that is welcomed by everyone. And I’m sure that we can do this,” Kim told Trump through a translator.

Trump reciprocated his counterpart’s optimistic message, saying it was an “honor” to meet with Kim for a second time.

“It’s great to be with you, we had a very successful first summit,” Trump said. “Some people wanted to see it go quicker, but I was very happy with how we are doing.”

He added, “I think that your country has tremendous economic potential, unbelievable, unlimited. I believe you will have a great future … I look forward to watching it happen and helping it to happen.”

They emerged a short time later and exchanged smiles as they sat at a table for dinner.

Trump was accompanied by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. Kim’s guests included Kim Yong Chol, a former military spy chief and his point man in negotiations, and Ri Yong Ho, the foreign affairs minister. Interpreters were also in attendance.

“Everyone having a good time? Make us look good,” Trump told a photographer.

He told reporters, “We’re going to have a very busy day tomorrow. We’ll probably have a very quick dinner. I think it’ll lead to a really wonderful situation. Our relationship is a very special relationship.”

About two hours prior, Trump criticized reports about the summit, saying he and Kim would work toward agreeing to end North Korea’s nuclear program.

“All false reporting (guessing) on my intentions with respect to North Korea. Kim Jong Un and I will try very hard to work something out on Denuclearization & then making North Korea an Economic Powerhouse,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“I believe that China, Russia, Japan & South Korea will be very helpful!” he added.

Trump said the Vietnamese economy was “thriving” in part because of its relationship with the US — and used it as an example of what is possible for North Korea if it agrees to denuclearize.

“We [Trump and Kim] both felt very good about having this very important summit in Vietnam because you really are a good example of what can happen,” Trump said after meeting with the Vietnamese president.
